Fastest option: Taxi. Cost: about 35 EUR.
Most convenient option: the shuttle bus to Westbahnhof (~8 EUR, buy ticket from driver).
Cheapest option: the S-Bahn (S7) to Wien Mitte and from there underground U3 to Westbahnhof (same ticket valid for both ~4 EUR).

The 'City Airport Train' (CAT) is a few minutes faster than the S-Bahn, but also more expensive- it also ends at Wien Mitte, from where you'll have to catch the U3 underground to Westbahnhof. The CAT ticket is not valid for the U3!

Shuttle bus (Vienna Airportlines):
The bus will drop you off right in front of the main entrance of the train station. Standing in front - Westbahnhof behind you - turn right and walk half way around the train station. That'll lead you to Mariahilfer Strasse. Look to your left and you can already see the Wombat's on the opposite side of the street.

S-Bahn or CAT and U3:
Get off the U3 at Westbahnhof, then take the exit 'Aussere Mariahilfer Strasse'. Once up there, continue walking until no. 137 on the left-hand side of the street.
